At CHEST 2025, held in Chicago, Illinois, Laurie Slovarp, PhD, CCC-SLP, professor at the University of Montana and certified speech pathologist, presented a poster on the development of a digital therapeutic designed to improve access to behavioral cough suppression therapy for patients with refractory chronic cough.
A large-scale trial examining the effect of azithromycin on the relationship between oesophageal function and cough as evaluated by Hyfe's cough monitoring technology in respiratory disease is feasible and acceptable to patients.
This study used Hyfe's wearable cough monitor during a 7-day run in, 28-day treatment, and 14-day follow-up period in patients with chronic bronchitis.
Periods of intense coughing (termed bouts, epochs or bursts) are particularly problematic for some coughers and may not be reflected by simply counting the number of coughs per day. This study explored how varying the definition of bouts yield different impressions of cough severity.

This paper focuses on the potential of using cough frequency as a biomarker for tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis and monitoring treatment response. The study underscores the significance of continuous cough monitoring as a non-invasive method, which could aid in reducing overtreatment in individuals without TB and improve detection in cases missed by standard symptom-based screenings. This approach represents a significant advance in TB management, offering a more precise and patient-friendly diagnostic tool.
The study also highlights the possibility of reducing overtreatment in individuals who do not have TB and emphasizes the importance of innovative digital biomarkers in enhancing TB management, offering a more precise and patient-friendly diagnostic tool.
